Welcome to Idaho’s statewide navigation Zone. Idaho’s outdoor geography changes substantially from the forests and lakes of the Panhandle to the Palouse and Clearwater country, the central mountains, the Treasure Valley and Owyhee high desert, the Snake River Plain, and the Yellowstone, Teton, and Bear Lake landscapes of eastern and southeastern Idaho. Use this Zone to find the appropriate regional Zone and to locate statewide agencies, programs, maps, and stewardship resources. ## Statewide and Regional Participation Use this statewide Zone for subjects that genuinely apply across Idaho or affect multiple Regions, including: - statewide agency programs or policy changes - statewide trail, access, fire, wildlife, or recreation resources - questions about which Region includes a particular Idaho county - statewide stewardship initiatives - announcements or issues that affect outdoor communities in several parts of Idaho Use the regional Zones below for place-specific participation, including: - trail, road, river, park, or campground conditions - visitor-planning and safety questions - local clubs, events, and volunteer projects - access changes, closures, maintenance, or restoration work - customary trail-sharing, dog-access, parking, or direction-of-travel practices - reports about damage, washouts, downed trees, blocked culverts, or other precise problems When reporting a problem tied to an exact point, include the [what3words](https://what3words.com/) address together with the place name, date observed, and a concise description. Search the appropriate regional Zone first using the magnifying-glass icon at the top of the screen. Add to an existing open discussion when one fits, or start a focused new discussion when it does not. ## Idaho Regions The following eight Regions include every Idaho county. Some cross state lines because outdoor communities, watersheds, trail systems, and working landscapes do not stop at state boundaries.

A cross-state Region is still the correct Idaho participation Zone for the Idaho counties within its footprint. ## Statewide Official and Stewardship Starting Points Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation > **[Welcome](https://parksandrecreation.idaho.gov/)** > > Latest News See All NewsBecome an Idaho Trails Supporter!
